Watch Description

Hello panel members,  i have come across this Sea King model with an automatic 17 jewels 11ANACB Swiss movement  -  it is a non-running project watch that I plan to restore.  beautiful dial with some patina, and most unusually - has a “day-date” function, which I haven’t seen on any of the sea king models on the site. the 6,9 & 12 markers are in Roman numerals - denoted VI, IX & XII respectively.  

the balance moves freely, but does not move the seconds hand.  if anyone knows anything about this specific model, I would be most grateful for some detail. 

thank you, Russ
